Perched above the St. Lawrence River in the heart of Charlevoix, Le Massif de Charlevoix is a four-season mountain resort defined by scale, scenery, and ambition.
Renowned for its dramatic terrain that plunges from lofty peaks to the water’s edge, the resort offers an expansive outdoor playground year-round, paired with standout local gastronomy and on-mountain accommodations.
In winter, Le Massif delivers one of Quebec’s most impressive ski experiences, with 53 trails and glades spread across more than 400 acres, along with a vast off-piste playground for more adventurous skiers.
The mountain benefits from an average 545 cm of natural snowfall each year, supported by ongoing investments in snowmaking to ensure consistently strong conditions throughout the season.
